I would like to know why all of the incoming freshmen would know who the Mayor of Chicago is. A friend teaches HS Senior Government classes and didn't have a single student who could name either a Texas Senator or their Representative.

I'd also be surprised if they even knew who Noriega is, or Milli Vanilli.

Additionally, I think a lof of the info is HIGHLY stereotyped: credit cards, minivans, and headphones in the back seat.

Despite the accuracy of officials censoring HS newspapers, I doubt that most of the students are aware of it.

The list is still a lot of fun and I think it would be interesting to see what the list for my graduating class looks like.

probably because mayor daley is like...an institution in chicago. a tarnished, corrupt, weasely institution, but an institution nonetheless. he's also held office for like 80million years. & beloit is, i think, relatively close to the border.

Like sporko said, Beloit is actually right on the border of Wisconsin/Illinois only a couple hours outside of Chicago. So it's a local joke._________________Eureka00: "Reminding you of your addictions" since 1982.
